Overall these are great changes, but if I'm reading it correctly Boba will now be the only hero with 150 regen while everyone else will be at 200+. The 50 base health buff was needed but a regen increase was more important...

You underestimate the power of Boba Fett !

I have always disagreed to increase health or health regeneration.

• 50 HP is really a gift !!

Now => he has a better reticle.
The best tools to move in flight !!

In the hands of a good player ... it's a massacre !! And you already know it!

Have you met a great player of Boba Fett ??
I have doubts....

With all these small improvements + 50 HP.
There is only this total damage and star cards to fixed to make it balanced in all modes.

I know Boba Fett perfectly and I can tell you that 200 health regeneration will not change anything. It will only increase its power.

Reminder : Han Solo has 650 HP and Boba Fett has 600 now !!
Except that ...... he can fly !!!
And can do so much damage !!
You realize ???
I do not believe...

Now he can recover in the air.
Seriously ... think about it !!!

I also invite you to see my topic about balancing Boba Fett :

https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/118386/project-for-dice-balancing-boba-fett-and-these-star-cards-fixes

I hope you will better understand these strengths and weaknesses

Mate...settle down a bit! You come across as if you're nagging at me while waving your finger

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I know Boba Fett as well as you given that he's one of my favourites. No hero should have the worst health and also the worst health regeneration. Even Finn as 200 regen plus a health increase and damage reduction ability.

I've met good Boba players many times, and all of them lost to me as soon as I picked Chewbacca. Anakin makes it even harder nowadays. Maybe his air recovery will help, maybe not.

200 regen would help him in GA, where he isn't a good pick on most maps. One explosion and he crash lands onto the ground and loses almost all of his health. 200hp regen would help him get back into the fight without being wiped out instantly.

Do not worry....
I did not want to be aggressive lol...

I understand perfectly your point of view ! But wait to see these improvements in tomorrow's update...

And also tell me what you think of the changes I propose to DICE to improve and balance Boba Fett in all modes.
Thank you !

Nah I was just kidding

. For me, Boba has always been the most risky character to use in GA. One wrong move or one unlucky bowcaster shot and that's usually the end of Boba, whereas the other heroes can often walk away without a scratch (looking at you Anakin and Bossk).

I like a lot of your ideas. Your topic needs bumping back up to the front page IMO. You're right about his abilities - they need balancing because he relies heavily on rocket barrage, which is situationally overpowered, but Concussion Missile is terrible as you say. Hopefully the devs will take notice.

NomiSunstrider · May 21, 2019 10:11PM

Giving 90% dmg reduction on Vader during choke is too much on top of his immunity to stuns. He is pretty strong now, and after tomorrow he will be even more. Once he chokes someone, his teammates cant do anything, not even damage him. I also think Yoda didnt need his dash to go through blocks as well. He will be an annoyance to say the least now.

Will you look at Rey please. She needs some tweaks. Her Dash strike should stagger a block like it used to. Also increase her HoK from 60 to 100 when killing villains. She is my favorite hero but i find her lagging behind now with all these buffs the others have received, but Rey received nothing but nerfs for a year and half.

Will make him completely unstoppable. He's way better than his younger self now. Introducing immunity while doing a move is terrible game design. I can see retribution being the only move due to the super long animation but heroic might, vaders choke, mauls choke, & UA did not need immunity.

Why remove inspector screens?

StarDaddy69 · May 22, 2019 12:43AM

The balancing of heroes in this game has been one big long joke since the chosen one arrived -.-

Liz4rD · May 22, 2019 1:08AM

I think they buffed Vader bcos on HvsV TDM Dark Side now will need a crowd control character more than before the reworking of the system. And with the damage reduction he can effectively be the crowd controller the DS needs. That will make the 'DS pack' more fearable when confronting a LS pack. If Yoda + Ani + Obi is the 'ragdoll fest/force power fest', the DS needs more than Mauls and Kylos force powers. Lets see how Vader works now in HvsV, maybe the change is necessary given the fact the blasters are now buffed to raise their chances to survive.
In GA Vader needed that buff to be VADER when on the battlefield. Maybe well see more Vaders now on GA.

Lets wait to see all the stuff in action.

When is the Issue Anakin dominating GA gonna be fixed?

^ I just want GA to be playable again heroic might and retribution are both really unhealthy for the game and should be removed.

Haven't played GA for like 3 months now, gonna be another one it seems...

You missed out when they bumped his price up to what 8k-12k. Really was enjoyable

I don't think that would have helped too much, many people would have had plenty of BP once the final phase comes.

thR51V4 · May 22, 2019 2:12AM

Some great updates to the Hero’s. Thank you!

JRMick · May 22, 2019 2:26AM

Didn't see any mention of fixing the AT-RT continuing to fire after it's destroyed... All heroes need a generic health on kill card versus the ability health on kill (Iden, Finn, Phasma, Chewbacca in particular). Not sure if the damage buffs on Finn and Phasma's blaster will be enough to make them viable. We won't know until tomorrow for sure. Happy with most of the changes, keep up the good work!

BTL-A4_Ace · May 22, 2019 2:32AM

Add Emotes, Victory Poses and Appearances to all Special Units.
Replace the Death Trooper's DLT-19 with the E-11D.
Free up all Trooper class base Weapons, and give them unique stats and unlockable weapon mods.
Add squadron color schemes/markings as Appearances where canonically appropriate for Starfighters.
Add a "Scout Pistol" Star Card to the Specialist Trooper, but replace the flash bolt function with scope functionality so it works like how it did in Battlefront 2015.

Yikes... I got carried away. lol But yeah, I would absolutely LOVE it if DICE implemented all of the above.

He's way better than his younger self now.

Wait, what? How is Vader WAY BETTER than Anakin. As far as I know, he deals less damage per swing, has far worse starcards, doesn't have two 360 AOE abilities and doesn't have super fast saber swings, super useful pull and he can't deal some damage through block (well, maybe sometimes when your saber returns after throw, but idk if it works anymore). Anakin ( GA & CS ) is way way way better than Vader. The Dark Lorde will definately improve tomorrow, but won't be even close to little Ani. In HVV, his younger self is also better, but ofc not by that large margin.

Versatti · May 22, 2019 7:35AM

AT-AT targeting still sucks as does not having a warning area when in the radius of its orbital strike.

dominokerem · May 22, 2019 8:42AM

155 damage while focused rage is great

Nnagildan · May 22, 2019 9:40AM

Yes it’s today

gfunk · May 22, 2019 10:03AM

Nice to see lots of fixes

still needing a server browser as many people can never get into a populated server

Roche__0_o · May 22, 2019 12:57PM

This new Heroes vs. Villains mode are a big trash, *****, like a booring team deathmatch.. WE NEED BACK THE OLD MODE WITH THE FUCKIGN TARGED SYSTEM.........

Stuman6 · May 22, 2019 3:02PM

I hate the removal of targets in Heroes vs. Villains. It makes for targeting less experienced players. The target aspect added attack and defensive strategies, rather than just kill. Not happy. ☹️

Instead of just regular all starfighter maps they should add starfighters and objectives for it like taking out the shields into capital supremacy. Then it would be the ultimate mode everyone has always wanted. Also with artillery vehicles!

Also they should get rid of extraction mode and merge those two extraction maps into galactic assault so there at least in that rotation and there is a less clutter of game modes.

Wigclyne · May 22, 2019 5:27PM

I thought just for a second someting was being added to extraction, I should have known better.

Crum300 · May 22, 2019 6:32PM

Good to see Vader getting a bit of a buff. He may give me a headache when playing GA from now on but it's an honor to have Vader kick my butt. Better him than Ani. Plus, with more nerfs on the way for Ani in the next hotfix it shall be a day long remembered.

Will you look at Rey please. She needs some tweaks. Her Dash strike should stagger a block like it used to. Also increase her HoK from 60 to 100 when killing villains. She is my favorite hero but i find her struggling now with all these buffs the others have received, but Rey received nothing but nerfs for a year and half.

He's way better than his younger self now.

Wait, what? How is Vader WAY BETTER than Anakin. As far as I know, he deals less damage per swing, has far worse starcards, doesn't have two 360 AOE abilities and doesn't have super fast saber swings, super useful pull and he can't deal some damage through block (well, maybe sometimes when your saber returns after throw, but idk if it works anymore). Anakin ( GA & CS ) is way way way better than Vader. The Dark Lorde will definately improve tomorrow, but won't be even close to little Ani. In HVV, his younger self is also better, but ofc not by that large margin.

Vader is way better than anakin in HvV

You have ruined HvVs. It was my favorite mode.

"Damage inflicted to Darth Vader during the Force Choke ability is now reduced by 90%"

Please stop doing this, that's why Anakin drives everyone crazy.
Equivalent to:
1- Go in the middle
2- Activate God Mode
3- Have a walk to regen and goto 1

I'm ok with "high" damage reduction when escaping, running, ... doing tricks that are a bit difficult to control ... but motionless invulnerability, not ok.

when i read that there will be no vehicles on Kamino, i expected the action in CS to be in the second and third phase of GA. Geonosis and kasshyyk on CS was different from GA . kamino on CS and GA is the same map. don't tell me they add red and white lights , crashed ships etc. i watched some HvV videos and i had enough. see you in june on teed. i really really really hope they will not port the GA map into CS without real changes, not only add hiding spots and multicolour garlands in the trees.

Starfighter maps! Please! And Extraction!

Also they should get rid of extraction mode and merge those two extraction maps into galactic assault so there at least in that rotation and there is a less clutter of game modes.

No way. Extraction plays very differently, much more tactical. They just need to have as many mails as it did in 2015, especially Sullust!

Ya'll need to add the maps of Pillio and Vardos already. Those were great and they have so much potential.

Kamino is exactly the same, they shuffled some assets and expanded the map slightly. Ive never programed before and I could do that in a week by myself, they have a whole team and it takes them a month to copy and paste.

Fed up with people hacking, since level cap increase SORT IT OUT!!!

The voice over wheel is useless, currently.
Everybody dislikes how the emotes/voice lines get cut off as soon as you move.
Bring back the target system of HvV.
Boba regaining flight after being knocked out of the air makes sense as far as having a jetpack goes, but is terrible for gameplay. I recommend removing that ability. He already runs away enough and now he can't be knocked out of the sky long enough for a saber character to try attacking. Guns may be different sure, if you can hit him, but light side doesn't have a guy who can just swoop in and rocket bomb everyone and fly off.

For Capital Supremacy I still think we should have unseen locations of the planets we have and not the same ones but slightly retouched as you are doing like adding some shattered ships and stuff but the map's the same.
You made it with geonosis, why don't you make it with the rest? That would make the videogame better

new mapS. S. new. mapS. please. These old maps are just that. Old. If you can't tell, most of the community is tired of you messing with the game with clearly no identifiable direction. Your content drops are not well thought out, it's like you throw out whatever you can pull together in whatever limited time you have, not an actual plan. Still waiting to feel like EA\DICE know what they are really doing. Since launch that is.
